It’s unfortunate, because from this fight alone I can tell that if CM Punk was given the years to develop properly as a fighter, he would have been pretty darn good, particularly on the ground. He had a solid base, and kept his feet under him throughout the fight ( except when he was getting tagged of course. ) . The use of his double jab in round one was noteworthy as well, ( he even used it to close the distance and clinch ), and secure a takedown, pretty impressive for a guy with no real combat sports experience, against a pro. ( even if that pro is far from being the best ). He lacked the ringctaft, decision-making & I.Q, to truly pose a threat to Mike Jackson, these are things that can only be attained, after years upon years of rigorous & meticulous drilling, positional sparring, and live completion against fighters at your level, or a bit better. Punk did not have the timeframe to experience & learn from those, and this is was the result. But even in this result he showed me quite a lot, an intelligent use of the jab, and a somewhat diverse kicking game and a capacity to secure a clinch against the fence and eventually a take down from way out in the open, all displayed against a guy significantly ahead of him skill & experience. Not a bad showing for him in the least. Atrocious look for Mike tho.

I love how much smack BJ talked leading up to this fight and then quit. Made every excuse in the book afterwards. Lost so much respect for him after that fight.

Silva had a longer winning streak than weidman had fights when he finally lost to him, and people still think weidman beat a prime Anderson.
